Impacts of tax reform: With the ink dry on the tax reform deal, companies are taking a closer look on the bottom line impacts.

The big talk of the first day – and likely to continue throughout the week – will be the impacts on corporate earnings and upcoming deals.

Following the company's presentation on Monday, Express Scripts CEO Tim Wentworth expects to see $850 million in savings on taxes in 2018, thanks to the overhaul.

"We will not be sitting on that cash, I promise you that," the CEO of the St. Louis-based company told Axios.

Meanwhile, Eli Lilly & Co. CEO Dave Ricks told Bloomberg said the tax changes will help the company as it looks to bolster its oncology business. "We may win a few more contests that we were losing before," he told Bloomberg.

Expect this to be a reoccurring theme this week in San Francisco; it could open the door to a busy 2018 for companies looking at deals on the horizon.

Diversity in question: An interesting factoid from this year's conference. There are more men named Michael giving presentations than the total number of female CEOs giving presentations this year, according to an analysis by STAT.

Overall, STAT found that men are giving 94 percent of all the corporate presentations at this year's event.

Game night: At the end of the first night, more than 150 attendees made their way to Schroeder's to check out the college football national championship game between Georgia and Alabama. The event was co-hosted by Waller and Brentwood Capital Advisors.
